About this spot
Takeya Asakusabashiten serves massive bowls of curry udon where the broth is thickened with potato and carrot, creating a rich, savory texture that rivals dedicated curry houses. The izakaya-style counter seating lets you watch chefs toss giant noodles in hot water before they're ladled into your bowl alongside crispy tempura toppings. This Ueno spot is a local favorite for its hearty portions that feel like a warm hug on a chilly Tokyo evening.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'Nabe' style curry udon if you want to dip your noodles directly into the simmering broth at the table.
- Ask for extra tempura (tenpura) as a side dish to add crunch and oil-rich flavor to your bowl.
- Expect to wait 10-15 minutes while chefs manually boil and season each individual portion fresh.
